Section 30.658 - Application Rates and Capacity
(1) With the land treatment license application, the owner or operator shall submit information identifying the annual rate limiting constituent, the single application limiting constituent, and the soil capacity limiting constituent of the wastes to be treated at the facility (see310 CMR 30.010 ).
(2) The annual application rate of hazardous waste shall not be greater than the maximum rate established by the annual rate limiting constituent for that waste.
(3) The amount of each hazardous waste applied at any one time shall not exceed that established by the single application limiting constituent identified for that waste.
(4) The total amount of each hazardous waste applied to the land over the operating life of the facility shall not exceed that established by the soil capacity limiting constituent for that waste.
(5) The application rates and capacities shall be determined taking into consideration:
(a) The potential for volatilization of hazardous constituents from the applied waste;
(b) The need to prevent migration of hazardous constituents from the treatment zone;
(c) The ability of the treatment zone to degrade, transform or immobilize hazardous constituents;
(d) The soil characteristics, including the anticipated pH of the soil following the post-closure care period of the facility;
(e) The potential for run-off;
(f) Climatic conditions;
(g) The toxic effects of the waste to decomposer organisms;
(h) The toxic effects of the waste on the vegetative cover;
(i) The potential for odor problems at the site; and
(j) The potential for long-term anoxic conditions in the soil.
(6) In the waste analysis plan required pursuant to 310 CMR 30.513, the owner or operator shall include provisions for determining the concentrations of the annual rate limiting constituent, the single application limiting constituent, the soil capacity limiting constituent, and those constituents which are within 25% of the concentration level which would make them limiting constituents.
